The misunderstanding started on Sunday as Schreiber, 39, and Watts, 38, headed into the Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Schreiber told Entertainment Tonight: “We are married. You got it first. Break the story!”

But the couple spent the rest of the evening denying they’d tied the knot. Backstage, a Vera Wang-clad Watts was asked if she had wed. She smiled and said, “No.” Schreiber meanwhile, said of the report: “Not true.”

Speaking to reporters at the Tonys on Sunday, Schreiber talked about possible names for the baby. “I’m thinking Tony is a good name,” he joked (he was nominated for a best actor award for his performance in Talk Radio, but lost out to Frank Langella for Frost/Nixon.)

He added that he and Watts didn’t know whether they were having a boy or a girl: “I really don’t know. I wanted to know; she doesn’t.”
